Resident Evil Creator Working on New Survival Horror Game

Survival horror’s been a pretty under represented genre this generation. Other than the brilliant Siren: Blood Curse, there’s been a real dearth of truly frightening content. As such, it’s up to Shinji Mikami – the creator of the Resident Evil franchise – to resurrect the dying genre.

According to the latest issue of Famitsu magazine, the former Capcom employee is working on a survival horror title at new studio Tango Gameworks. The project – due for release in 2013 – is currently codenamed Zwei.

Very little else is known about the title, but it doesn’t really matter. All you need to know is that Shinji Mikami is at the helm and you’re going to want to play it.
